STUDY DESIGN
A cross-sectional analysis was performed in a group of women meeting strict criteria for posterior pelvic pain since pregnancy (PPPP). The scores on the Active Straight Leg Raise Test… (More)

STUDY DESIGN
The superficial and deep lamina of the posterior layer of the thoracolumbar fascia have been studied anatomically and biomechanically. In embalmed human specimens, the posterior layer… (More)

Objective signs to assess impairment in patients who are disabled by peripartum pelvic girdle pain hardly exist. The purpose of this study was to develop a clinical test to quantify and qualify… (More)

In this overview, new and existent material on the organization and composition of the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) will be evaluated in respect to its anatomy, innervation biomechanics and clinical… (More)

This study deals primarily with the stability of the base of the spine. The sacroiliac joints are vulnerable to shear loading on account of their predominantly flat surfaces. This raises the question… (More)

STUDY DESIGN
An analysis was made of the self-reported medical histories of patients with peripartum pelvic pain.
OBJECTIVES
To compile an inventory of the disabilities of patients with peripartum… (More)

This article focuses on the (functional) anatomy and biomechanics of the pelvic girdle and specifically the sacroiliac joints (SIJs). The SIJs are essential for effective load transfer between the… (More)

We developed a biomechanical model of load transfer by the sacroiliac joints in relation to posture. A description is given of two ways in which the transfer of lumbar load to the pelvis in a stooped… (More)
